Union Hill Cemetery

East Haddam, CT · 2012-10-01

Cemetery photo documentation — East Haddam, Connecticut.

History

Union Hill Cemetery sits in East Haddam, a Connecticut River town better known to visitors for Goodspeed Opera House, Gillette Castle, and river trade history. Like other “Union” or parish burying grounds in New England, Union Hill holds generations of local families—slate and marble stones marking farmers, mariners’ kin, and church members. It is a working historic landscape, not a commercial haunted attraction.

Local ghost lore

Union Hill does not carry a single nationally marketed spectre (do not confuse it with Union Cemetery in Easton, home of the Warren-promoted White Lady). Local interest is the usual river-town mix: fog over monuments, unexplained lights, and stories told among night photographers. Ghosthound’s file is photographic documentation, not a claim of a named entity.

Ghosthound evidence

Four plates (unionhill1–4) from the production album only.
